Cheapo Android Phone: Huawei Y511

[WinnieTheKhwai]

Got one this weekend, as I needed a cheapo Android phone mostly to be 'just a phone' and to tether 3G to an iPad.

But pleasantly surprised with it as it's completely usable, quite speedy and with a rather nice 4.5 inch 480x854 screen. I think I'd recommend it; runs a reasonably up to date version of Android (Jelly Bean 4.2)

Downsides are the crap camera and little internal memory, though it can take a mico SD card on which you can also install apps.

3,490 Baht

But there are several other phones out there right now around the 3000 baht mark that have adequate speeds and reasonably okay screens. Even just a year ago those didn't exist at the $100 US price point.
